What do ya think of Madagascar Orange....
 
...for a '69 Camaro? It's new on 2012 Astin Martins.

The BOS men are kickin' butt on my car and soon I'll have to decide what color to paint it. Originally I thought I'd go with Botanical Green that Jaguar uses. But, I saw it again this weekend and there is just too much metallic flake in it.

Here's some pictures:

What say you? Will this color work on a '69 Camaro pro-tour car?

Here's a link for better hi-res pics: http://www.caricos.com/cars/a/aston_...martin_virage/

Thanks for the input.

I think thats a perfect color. I can't imagine what that paint cost.

Hey Bryan - I'm gonna go against the grain here (8-1-2 poll votes at this time). I love the orange and copper trends on our cars but I do think some with more of a brownish tint lose the 'pop'. Penny nailed it, and that other copper/orange first gen in AZ is beautiful.

I'm a big fan of your build, just throwin out my .02 since you asked...

No doubt. Seems like I :faint: every other week when I tally up the cost of the build. We sure didn't pick a cheap hobby. But its only money. :)

Yes, they are beautiful cars. I have to wipe my drool off Steve's car every time I visit the shop. I wanna be like Steve I just don't wanna be Steve. Maybe he'll pop in here and give his one cent worth. :)

Thanks. I may still go with the Botanical it's just the amount of metallic in it has really increased since last year. The paint codes are the same for 2010 and 2011. John checked. Oh well. It's a win win situation. :yes:

Great Choice! That's a hot color!

Don't feel bad I'm looking for an orange color too. That is perfect.

Yep, I think its awesome, too. We're going to do a sprayout just to be certain its the paint I want to go with.

You going to use it too Wayne? :thumbsup:

Not sure I'm looking at a few. I don't want to get out of hand on price.
